What's this car?
Someone sent my brother this pic of his toy and I'm really curious, it looks pretty cool to me!

Think it was made by Chris Craft with help from Gordon Murray?

Hahaha! I deleted the 2nd post because I saw that you had edited your one to add those two names, which allowed me to do a better search...
Thanks!

Remember seeing one at a track day running rings around every other super car there.
This was long before kits as we currently know them were as popular and easy to source.

That photo of the Dutch prime minister on the front page of the website is fab. Real daredevil - no helmet and no roll bar! I suppose it
wouldn't make for a great publicity shot if you couldn't see his face

I'd love to see what's inside, specially with regards to its transmission, that would justify its high price tag.
